To remove the 076 front cover, place a small screwdriver

or similar object into the small hole located in the top

of the 076 enclosure. Push the screwdriver against the

plastic flap and pull the top of the front cover so that it

pivots around the bottom edge of the mounting base.

Installation - Indoor Sensor 076

The tekmar Indoor Sensor 076 includes a 10kΩ thermistor which provides accurate

measurement of the indoor temperature. The 076 can be mounted directly on the wall using

two #6-1” screws. The small size of the 076 makes this sensor visually appealing and less

noticeable on the wall. The 076 can be connected to a 10k Room Temperature Unit (RTU)

for remote temperature sensing.

STEP ONE

GETTING READY

Check the contents of this package. If any of the contents listed are missing or damaged,

please contact your wholesaler or tekmar sales representative for assistance.

Type 076 includes:

•

• One Indoor Sensor 076

•

• One Data Brochure D 076

STEP TWO

REMOVING THE FRONT COVER

NOTE: The temperature sensor (thermistor) is built into the 076 enclosure.

STEP THREE

•

• The Indoor Sensor should be installed on an interior

wall of the desired zone to be controlled. Do not

mount the 076 in a location that may be affected

by localized heat sources or cold drafts. It may be

necessary to install a draft barrier and / or insulation

behind the enclosure in order to prevent air from

blowing through the wiring hole and affecting the

Sensor reading.

•

• For surface mounting, mount the Indoor Sensor

directly to the wall using two #6-1” screws. The

screws are inserted through the mounting holes

and must be securely fastened to the wall. If

possible, at least one of the screws should enter

a wall stud.

A good quality test meter capable of measuring up to 5,000 kΩ (1 kΩ = 1000Ω) is required to

measure the sensor resistance. In addition to this, the actual temperature must be measured

with either a good quality digital thermometer, or if a thermometer is not available, a second

sensor can be placed alongside the one to be tested and the readings compared.

First measure the temperature using the thermometer and then measure the resistance of

the sensor at the control. The wires from the sensor must not be connected to the control

while the test is performed. Using the chart on the following page, estimate the temperature

measured by the sensor. The sensor and thermometer readings should be close. If the test

meter reads a very high resistance, there may be a broken wire, a poor wiring connection

or a defective sensor. If the resistance is very low, the wiring may be shorted, there may be

moisture in the sensor or the sensor may be defective. To test for a defective sensor, measure

the resistance directly at the sensor location.

Do not apply voltage to a sensor at any time as damage to the sensor may result.

Sensor Testing Instructions

STEP FOUR

WIRING THE INDOOR SENSOR

Run two conductor 18 AWG or similar wire between the Indoor Sensor and the terminals

on the tekmar control. Insert the wires through the hole provided in the back of the indoor

sensor enclosure and connect them to the indoor sensor terminal block. Do not run the wires

parallel to telephone or power lines. If the indoor sensor wires are located in an area with

strong sources of electromagnetic noise, shielded cable or twisted pair should be used or

the wires can be run in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, one end of the

shield wire should be connected to the Com-Sen terminals on the control and the other end

should remain free. The shield must not be connected to earth ground. Follow the sensor

testing instructions below and connect the wires to the control.

STEP FIVE

INSTALLING THE FRONT COVER

The Indoor Sensor 076 front cover is installed by aligning the hinges on the bottom of the

front cover with the bottom of the sensor mounting base. The front cover is then pivoted

around the bottom hinge and pushed against the mounting base until it snaps firmly into

place.
